In India birds are made to fight as a sport. It is called Buttase. Two birds are brought together on a table, while all stand round to see the fun. As soon as the birds see one another they attack each other. The owner of each bird thinks that his bird will win, the prize will be his. But as soon as it appears as if one bird will be beaten, its owner takes it away, saying to the other, "You have won, we will not continue the fight." This is because he wants to save his bird from being disappointed. The bird would then be without faith.
